The Bayleaf Hotel Cavite: Review & Experience 

It was during the pandemic, in 2021, when we decided we were ready to go on a staycation. Establishments were slowly re-opening and the pandemic policies have become relaxed; people can be out and about again. After so many months of being holed up at home, afraid and unreasonably paranoid of catching the virus, we…

Bread Street Kitchen & Bar Singapore Experience

My 36th birthday was, by far, my favorite one because we celebrated it at Bread Street Kitchen & Bar Singapore. My husband and I are big fans of Gordon Ramsay (we’ve watched all of his shows) and so it was a dream come true, literally, to finally dine at one of his restaurants.  Bread Street…

Lunch at Zubuchon Lechon Manila: A Review

The first time that I was introduced to Zubuchon was close to a decade ago, during one of my travels to Cebu. My hotel in Mactan was just across from a Zubuchon branch, and I ate breakfast and lunch there; dining again at another branch when I found myself wandering in the Cebu I.T. Park….

Table for One at Greyhound Cafe SM Aura

Thailand’s Greyhound Cafe in SM Aura has caught my eye a couple of times, and yesterday I finally got to try their food. Every week or so, I take myself out on a date (husband can’t tag along as he’s dogsitting our aspin, Yumi, and working on his own projects), and yesterday, after shopping and…

Holiday Inn Macao Cotai Central Review

Here I am again with another rave review of the Holiday Inn. Though pricey than what my wallet can usually handle, I’ve always liked Holiday Inn, because they’re one of the best hotels my cheapskate self has been in, and they always go the extra mile with their service. I’m sure other hotels do the…

Ole London Hotel Macau Review

The Ole London Hotel Macau is a better choice than costly AirBnB’s in the peninsula if you want to return home to an even better room experience at the end of the day. Perhaps because of demand or the time of our booking (it was summer in East Asia after all), AirBnB accommodations in Macau…

Green Tangerine in Hanoi, Vietnam

A Taste of Hanoi: Madame Hien and Green Tangerine

The best thing about Hanoi, apart from the sights, is food. Glorious food. No argument about that. Sweet, herby and tangy—what’s not to love about Vietnamese food? Now you can get bun cha or pho from just about any sidewalk eatery or stall, and they would be just as good as—or even better—than those served…

Healy Mac’s (Irish Bar & Restaurant) Review

Ribs and beer—proof that life couldn’t get any better at Healy Mac’s.   The choices along Changkat Bukit Bintang could be too much for a first-time visitor, and without Google’s precious advice, we found ourselves a little lost in its cosmopolitan jungle. We went through the stretch of bars and restaurants opposite the shopping block,…
